Overview

A city of sophistication, sweets and beautiful music

Montreux, change of scenary, head Switzerland !

With the Alps mountains as a backdrop, Montreux is a swiss city located on the Lake Geneva. In Montreux and all around it, you can have a breath of fresh air discovering beautiful landscapes and some great buildings.

Among the unavoidable highlights of Montreux, you must visit the romantic 13th century castle of Chillon. Built on a rocky little island of Lake Geneva, it is the place to see. This medieval fortress inspired great authors such as Rousseau or Lord Byron.

Have a walk in the old city of Montreux and explore the tiny picturesque streets. You can also stroll along the seven kilometers’s quays of Montreux, from where you will have an amazing view on the Lake Geneva and the mountains around.

There, you will probably meet the Freddie Mercury’s statue, reminding that the world-famous singer lived here a few years and recorded his last album with Queen here.

A pleasant journey | David h. | 7 de avientu de 2013
"Our experience on this journey was good with one exception - our seating faced the back of train (I realise that applies to 50% of the seats on the train, however we had no choice when booking to affect this outcome). Also it was difficult weaving our long legs around the strangers opposite us without disturbing them.
Otherwise the seats were good, train clean and the scenery gorgeous!
